Product Information

Verification

Submit verification queries to upstream suppliers for saleable returns and suspect product investigations. Verify serial number, NDC (located within the GTIN), lot, and expiration date to data contained in the manufacturer's system of record. Receive responses in sub-second timeframes to prevent delays in the returns process.

Benefits

Meet DSCSA compliance requirements if your hospital or pharmacy resells products. Ensure that you are ready to verify serial number information with the manufacturer before restocking a returned product.

Improved visibility about product status. Receive additional information beyond the validity of a product, such as when a product is valid but under recall by the manufacturer.

Precise audit trails. Retain a record of the query and response for future reference, particularly in meeting DSCSA requirements to furnish verification evidence upon request.
